Checking Strings

[Koolioman]

I want my program to check to see if my string says a certain thing, like a password. I've tried it like this, but it says "comminity call missing argument list". Here's my code.

String^ password = System::Convert::ToString(textBox1->Text);
 
if (password->Equals == "open sesame");
MessageBox::Show("Welcome!");
 
else
MessageBox::Show("Go away!");

the problem is in the 3rd line.

HI,
There are a couple of issues in the 3rd line.
1); at the end of the condition(Remove the ;)
2)What Equals means
it shuld be like this

if(password == "open sesame")
 
//or
 
if(password.equals("open sesame")

Just so you know, the first example wirked, but the second one didn't.
(and I noticed the parenthase typo)
